I took the plunge and tore down my HW97 I could not resist the urge to tinker. After watching the videos it was easy except for loosening the rear trigger housing, that took a little work. Thoroughly cleaned polished the spring ends and the washers that it sits on. Put some synthetic moly grease on spots that had wear and very thinly everywhere else and a thin coat of sticky red grease on the spring. The only upgrade I tried was a soda bottle plastic for a spring sleeve in the piston and reassembled. Now I know why people spend the time to upgrade or change the internals, it was relatively easy. Now I will order some teflon sheets for a spring sleeve the plastic quieted it down a little. Thanks to everyone who took the time to post videos and tutorials on this. Now to finish building a DL44 for my grandsons Christmas.

Good to go!!........the HW97 is not a difficult rifle to disassemble and reassemble like you often will hear. It gives a lot of satisfaction when you can improve upon the rifle yourself.

I know how you feel. I have both my HW95s torn down and already have the new piston seals installed after a good clean and lube. Hopefully my new springs from ARH will arrive tomorrow and I can get the rifles put back together.
It's very satisfying to be able to do it yourself. Thank God for u-tube videos.

Hey gar616,
I always button the pistons on all my Weihrauch springers when I have them apart. Also, a good trigger disassembly and polish does wonders - set-back triggers are available if your into that - less trigger travel.
